The Hewlett-Packard High-Achieving Schools Grant Initiative is targeted to public middle or high schools in the United States that mainly serve low-income students who are very successful academically, especially in mathematics.

In June, 2002, HP and the Univeristy of New Mexico selected nine of these “high-achieving schools”, and  supported their future success by giving them the equipment and support needed to integrate the use of wireless mobile computing technology into mathematics and other curriculum during the 2002-03 academic year.

Each high-achieving school  received:

• an HP Wireless Mobile Classroom
• a $7,500 cash award to support project implementation
• support in technology integration
• participation by two mathematics teachers and an administrator in a 3-day Summer Institute conducted by the University of New Mexico College of Education from August 12-14, 2002
• the opportunity to share its success with the network of the nine high-achieving schools that have received the HP grant, and with the greater education community
